Television channels

Sailing on the Eurodam to Alaska from Seattle and am wondering if there are any sports channels on HAL's TV? if so what channels may I expect?

I'm currently on the Amsterdam in Alaska, and the only sports station is ESPN. It might be different on the Eurodam, though

ESPN, when offered, will be the European version.

No football games??

Did I just not stumble on it but is CNN no longer on HAL tv 's.? I might hav scrolled passed it but never saw it during my recent Veendam cruise.

You are correct. I haven't seen CNN on the HAL TV for some time now. I think is was replaced with Fox News.

The only news stations we had in nearly 5 months on HAL ships this year were CNBC, MSNBC, Fox, and BBC International.

What about Fox News? We can't stand the Clinton News Network.:mad:

Yes, Fox was still being aired o n my cruise. :)

Thanks. There was a decent length of time when both were shown, simultaneously. on HAL ships.

Interesting. HAL had CNN long before they showed Fox.

Like Faux "News" is any better.:rolleyes:

Not in the cabin, but available in the Sports Bar. These are from the cruise I'm currently on-- Amsterdam, 14-day Alaska.

[emoji848]Funny how no one complained about CNN until the orange menace took over. [emoji57] the only news I watch on tv is the CBS in the morning. Norah is amazing, and Charlie is a great interviewer. I read more than I watch... And I use multiple sources to weed out opinions and find common facts. As for football, Don't count on seeing the NFL or CFS in your room while in Europe. Only (soccer) futbol.

Fox News????

DON

One of the reasons HAL dropped CNN was that it was carried on terrestrial TV satellites and was not available in the middle of the ocean or far north(south) (caused a lot of complaints). FOX and MSNBC are carried on communications satellites and are usually available worldwide. ESPN and ESPN2 do drop out in the middle of the ocean as well.....

ESPN on HAL ships is ESPNU. This is old college games, not real ESPN.

I don't quesrtion you are correct but wonder how we saw CNN for many years on HAL ships. Did they change the satellite they now use?

How many TAs did you go on?

The lack or presence of any live TV channel onboard is a matter of...... what else... $$$$. If you want to carry any major satellite channel, either in a bar, a hotel, a ship or any commercial establishment, unless you pay a cable TV system for it, you must pay carriage rights to the program supplier. When any TV network gets very popular, they start jacking up their carriage rates. CNN and CNNI have been missing from HAL for a while now. I'm thinking that they raised their carriage rate, and HAL told them where to stuff it !!

How many TAs did you go on?

None, but what does that have to do with the repeat itineraries I have done?. I saw CNN on those itineraries in the past but now cannot? did they switch satellite? I never mentioned TA. and only am referring to itineraries where CNN was available ,,,,,,,, for years

Nice racist post. So it is ok to make fun of someone based on skin color now?

I like the fact that CNBC is now offered live (and has been for several years). Keeps me up to date with the financial and other news.
